52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Leviticus 10

1

Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to his command.

2

So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.

3

Moses then said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD spoke of when he said: "`Among those who approach me I will show myself holy; in the sight of all the people I will be honored.'" Aaron remained silent.

4

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel, and said to them, "Come here; carry your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary."

5

So they came and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses ordered.

6

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not let your hair become unkempt, and do not tear your clothes, or you will die and the LORD will be angry with the whole community. But your relatives, all the house of Israel, may mourn for those the LORD has destroyed by fire.

7

Do not leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting or you will die, because the LORD's anointing oil is on you." So they did as Moses said.

8

Then the LORD said to Aaron,

9

"You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.

10

You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean,

11

and you must teach the Israelites all the decrees the LORD has given them through Moses."

12

Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, "Take the grain offering left over from the offerings made to the LORD by fire and eat it prepared without yeast beside the altar, for it is most holy.

13

Eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons' share of the offerings made to the LORD by fire; for so I have been commanded.

14

But you and your sons and your daughters may eat the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. Eat them in a ceremonially clean place; they have been given to you and your children as your share of the Israelites' fellowship offerings.

15

The thigh that was presented and the breast that was waved must be brought with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire, to be waved before the LORD as a wave offering. This will be the regular share for you and your children, as the LORD has commanded."

16

When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's remaining sons, and asked,

17

"Why didn't you eat the sin offering in the sanctuary area? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the community by making atonement for them before the LORD.

18

Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place, you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded."

19

Aaron replied to Moses, "Today they sacrificed their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD, but such things as this have happened to me. Would the LORD have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?"

20

When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.

Leviticus 11

1

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

2

"Say to the Israelites: `Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat:

3

You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.

4

"`There are some that only chew the cud or only have a split hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you.

5

The coney, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you.

6

The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you.

7

And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

8

You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

9

"`Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales.

10

But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales--whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water--you are to detest.

11

And since you are to detest them, you must not eat their meat and you must detest their carcasses.

12

Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be detestable to you.

13

"`These are the birds you are to detest and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,

14

the red kite, any kind of black kite,

15

any kind of raven,

16

the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

17

the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

18

the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

19

the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.

20

"`All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be detestable to you.

21

There are, however, some winged creatures that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground.

22

Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper.

23

But all other winged creatures that have four legs you are to detest.

24

"`You will make yourselves unclean by these; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean till evening.

25

Whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean till evening.

26

"`Every animal that has a split hoof not completely divided or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you; whoever touches [the carcass of] any of them will be unclean.

27

Of all the animals that walk on all fours, those that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean till evening.

28

Anyone who picks up their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean till evening. They are unclean for you.

29

"`Of the animals that move about on the ground, these are unclean for you: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

30

the gecko, the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink and the chameleon.

31

Of all those that move along the ground, these are unclean for you. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

32

When one of them dies and falls on something, that article, whatever its use, will be unclean, whether it is made of wood, cloth, hide or sackcloth. Put it in water; it will be unclean till evening, and then it will be clean.

33

If one of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean, and you must break the pot.

34

Any food that could be eaten but has water on it from such a pot is unclean, and any liquid that could be drunk from it is unclean.

35

Anything that one of their carcasses falls on becomes unclean; an oven or cooking pot must be broken up. They are unclean, and you are to regard them as unclean.

36

A spring, however, or a cistern for collecting water remains clean, but anyone who touches one of these carcasses is unclean.

37

If a carcass falls on any seeds that are to be planted, they remain clean.

38

But if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.

39

"`If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass will be unclean till evening.

40

Anyone who eats some of the carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean till evening. Anyone who picks up the carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean till evening.

41

"`Every creature that moves about on the ground is detestable; it is not to be eaten.

42

You are not to eat any creature that moves about on the ground, whether it moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet; it is detestable.

43

Do not defile yourselves by any of these creatures. Do not make yourselves unclean by means of them or be made unclean by them.

44

I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves about on the ground.

45

I am the LORD who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.

46

"`These are the regulations concerning animals, birds, every living thing that moves in the water and every creature that moves about on the ground.

47

You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.'"

Leviticus 12

1

The LORD said to Moses,

2

"Say to the Israelites: `A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period.

3

On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised.

4

Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over.

5

If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.

6

"`When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.

7

He shall offer them before the LORD to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood. "`These are the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl.

8

If she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"
